What the paper reports

Researchers modified buffer exchange into a two-step dialysis process, first promoting fusion under acidic, higher-ionic-strength conditions while retaining ethanol, then removing ethanol and raising pH. Compared with one-step exchange, the process increased mRNA copies per particle, reduced empty particles, and improved transfection in cells and animals. These formulation-specific results do not establish that removing empties always improves every product.

Why this paper is included

Links particle-level loading with process conditions and function; scale-up requires controlling residual solvent, loading distributions, and consistent performance across batches.

The interpretation above is analysis, not a conclusion attributed to the original source.

In situ CAR engineering and nanoparticle-mediated TREM2 degradation for macrophage reprogramming in malignant ascites

A Nature Materials study describes mRNA-loaded LNPs that reprogram tumor-associated macrophages into Claudin18.2-targeting CAR macrophages. The lipid formulation also promotes TREM2 internalization and degradation, reshaping immune responses. The original abstract reports tumor suppression and longer survival with PD-1 blockade in mice, plus ex vivo patient-sample findings. These findings do not demonstrate clinical efficacy in treated patients.

Moderna raises 2026 revenue outlook after third-quarter growth

Moderna reported third-quarter 2026 revenue of $1.3 billion, up 29% year over year, and GAAP net income of $162 million, compared with a $200 million loss a year earlier. It raised expected full-year revenue growth to 15%–25% from up to 10%. The company attributed quarterly growth mainly to international COVID vaccine sales supported by government partnerships.

Moderna reports Canadian authorization of flu and combined flu–COVID mRNA vaccines

Moderna announced Canadian authorization of mFLUSIVA, its mRNA influenza vaccine, and mCOFLU, its combined influenza and COVID-19 vaccine, for adults 50 and older. The November 5 announcement cites Phase 3 efficacy evidence for mFLUSIVA and immunogenicity comparisons for mCOFLU. The company said it would engage Canadian authorities and immunization partners on future availability.
